Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 50

If word got out that Mr. Blackwood had shown up at his gathering,

the Cole family's status would soar to new heights.

Adrian's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but agree with Logan's earlier sentiment.

Hailey really was a lucky charm.

The moment she came back, the Lancaster family had proactively sought to partner with the Wynns.

And now, he had the chance to get acquainted with Mr. Blackwood!

His usual cool, domineering expression vanished. He picked up a nearby glass of wine and approached Nicholas. "Mr. Blackwood, my apologies. The Coles and the Wynns were just handling a private matter. I'm sorry we disturbed you. Which room are you in? I'll send over a few bottles of wine to your room later to apologize."

Adrian respectfully offered the glass to Nicholas with both hands.

For someone who always saw himself as a commanding figure, his posture was incredibly deferential.

However…

Nicholas didn't even glance at him. His languid gaze fell upon the cool, aloof girl standing in the middle of the room.

His thin lips curved into a careless smirk as he started walking toward Serena.

He had ignored the deferential Adrian completely.

The sycophantic smile on Adrian's face froze, a mix of apprehension and humiliation flooding him.

He gripped the wine glass tightly, his brow furrowing as he spun around.

He saw Nicholas troll casually into the room.

As he passed by the frozen Logan, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. He simply tapped Logan's shoulder with the hand holding the cigarette.

The ash tumbled down, landing on Logan's expensive clothes.

"Move."

Nicholas's tone was still that same lazy drawl, as if he'd just woken up, yet it carried an invisible pressure. "Trash, don't block the way."

Her pupils constricted.

Serena?!

Could it be… Mr. Blackwood was here for Serena?

No! How is that possible!

Serena was just a country bumpkin raised in the middle of nowhere, a commoner from the slums!

What right did she have to catch Mr. Blackwood's eye?

The gaze of such a perfect, top-tier man should belong to her, Hailey!

Hailey took a deep breath, adjusted her expression to its most gentle and pitiful, and walked gracefully toward Nicholas in her high heels.

Her voice was sickeningly sweet. "Mr. Blackwood, please don't misunderstand. It's all my sister's fault. She got angry and started hitting people after she failed to seduce Adrian. That's what disturbed you. Please don't be angry. I apologize to you on my sister's behalf…"
